Warnings
The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this
equipment. The exclamation point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard
symbols refer to procedure-specific risks. When these symbols appear in the body of this
manual or on warning labels, refer back to these Warnings. Product-specific hazard symbols
and warnings not covered in this section may appear throughout the body of this manual where
applicable.
WARNING
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure fluid from dispensing device, hose leaks, or ruptured components
will pierce skin. This may look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result
in amputation. Get immediate surgical treatment.
•Do not point dispensing device at anyone or at any part of the body.
•Do not put your hand over the fluid outlet.
•Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
•Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop dispensing and before
cleaning, checking, or servicing equipment.
•Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
•Check hoses and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause death or serious injury.
•Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
•Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the low-
est rated system component. See Technical Specifications in all equipment
manuals.
•Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See
Technical Specifications in all equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent
manufacturer’s warnings. For complete information about your material, request
Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) from distributor or retailer.
•Turn off all equipment and follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when equip-
ment is not in use.
•Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately
with genuine manufacturer’s replacement parts only.
•Do not alter or modify equipment. Alterations or modifications may void agency
approvals and create safety hazards.
•Make sure all equipment is rated and approved for the environment in which you
are using it.
•Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your distributor for information.
•Route hoses and cables away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and
hot surfaces.
•Do not kink or over bend hoses or use hoses to pull equipment.
•Keep children and animals away from work area.
•Comply with all applicable safety regulations.

Warnings
3A6673B 5
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
When flammable fluids are present in the work area, such as gasoline and wind-
shield wiper fluid, be aware that flammable fumes can ignite or explode. To help
prevent fire and explosion:
•Use equipment only in well-ventilated area.
•Eliminate all ignition sources, such as cigarettes and portable electric lamps.
•Ground all equipment in the work area.
•Keep work area free of debris, including rags and spilled or open containers of
solvent and gasoline.
•Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes
are present.
•Use only grounded hoses.
•Stop operation immediately if static sparking occurs or you feel a shock.Do
not use equipment until you identify and correct the problem.
•Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Wear appropriate protective equipment when in the work area to help prevent seri-
ous injury, including eye injury, hearing loss, inhalation of toxic fumes, and burns.
Protective equipment includes but is not limited to:
•Protective eye wear, and hearing protection.
•Respirators, protective clothing, and gloves as recommended by the fluid and
solvent manufacturer.

Overview
Metered Dispense Valve
NOTE: The metered dispense valve can be
set up to be used without a Pulse FC system,
or with a Pulse FC system with the installation
of a Pulse FC Starter kit (P/N 26C401).
Navigation Pad (FIG. 1)
The Navigation Pad includes 4 navigation
ARROWS (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT) and a
center, ENTER button.
Arrows: Move the cursor on the display.
ENTER button: Used to select or store an
entry.
Locking and Unlocking
the Trigger
The locking trigger feature locks the trigger in
the dispense position as shown in FIG. 2. To
release the lock, firmly squeeze the trigger to
the handle.

Typical Installation
The typical installation shown in FIG. 4 is only
a guide. It is not a complete system design.
Contact your Graco distributor for assistance
in designing a system to suit your needs.
The metered dispense valve is not designed
for in-line installation.
Mounting Bracket
Mounting Bracket Kit 249440 is available for
mounting the metered dispense valve on a
console.
Oil Bar
An Oil Bar Kit is available for mounting one to
three metered dispense valves. Contact your
Graco Distributor for ordering details.
NOTE: The Utility Menu provides an option to
flip the metered dispense valve display for
easy viewing when the metered dispense
valve is installed in the Oil Bar.

Installation
Pressure Relief Procedure
Follow the Pressure Relief
Procedure whenever you see this
symbol.
1. Turn off the power supply to the pump or
close the fluid shut off valve (B).
2. Open the nozzle. Authorize and activate
a dispense. Trigger the metered
dispense valve into a waste container to
relieve pressure.
3. Open any bleed-type master air valves
and fluid drain valves in the system.
4. Leave the drain valve open until ready to
pressurize the system.
Grounding
Follow manufacturer’s recommendations to
ground the pump and fluid supply
container.
Ground the hose and reel or console. Leave
at least two threads bare when using PTFE
tape. The bare threads ensure a ground is
maintained.
To maintain grounding continuity when
flushing or relieving pressure: hold a metal
part of the metered dispense valve firmly to
the side of a grounded metal pail, then trigger
the metered dispense valve.
Hoses: Only use electrically conductive
hoses. Check electrical resistance of hoses.
If total resistance to ground exceeds 29
megohms, replace the hose immediately.
Pre-Installation Procedure
1. See Relieve pressure, page 10.
2. Close fluid shut-off valve (B, FIG. 4, page
9).
3. Ground the hose and reel or console
(see Grounding, page 10).
4. Flush equipment. See Flushing, page
11.
This equipment stays pressurized until
pressure is manually relieved. To help
prevent serious injury from pressurized
fluid, such as skin injection, splashing fluid
and moving parts, follow the Pressure
Relief Procedure when you stop
dispensing and before cleaning, checking,
or servicing the equipment.
The equipment must be grounded to
reduce the risk of static sparking. Static
sparking can cause fumes to ignite or
explode. Grounding provides an escape
wire for the electric current.
FIRE HAZARD
Conductive metal surfaces on the metered
dispense valve must not make contact with
any positively charged metal surface,
including (but not limited to), the starter
solenoid terminal, alternator terminal or
battery terminal. Such contact could cause
electrical arcing and a fire.
NOTICE
•If this is a new installation or if the fluid
lines are contaminated, flush the lines
before installing the metered dispense
valve. Contaminated lines could cause
the metered dispense valve to leak.
•Never dispense compressed air with
metered dispense valve. Dispensing
compressed air will damage the
metered dispense valve.
